AKB48
AKB48 poster for their new single Namida Surprise spotted in our local shotengai. The video for the single below. Some of the members are rather scrumptious.

Likewise, I think I am going to snag the DVD single for this video if there is one. That's another thing I like about Japanese artists, the popular groups/people almost always release music video DVDs, I wish they did that more here.

College Freshmen
They remind me of Morning Musume. I also noticed that the shoes weren't the inside shoes students wear for school. I only noticed that because I thought the shoes they were wearing looked nice. LOL.

Keeping up with knowing all nine girls of Morning Musume is tough, I wonder if there is someone out there who knows all members of the AKB48. I'm sure someone does...

was planning to go watch their performance when I went to Japan last time, but didnt end up going because I only found out two of my fav girls left... then few months later another one of my fav left... so started to loss interest in the group, and not up to date with what's happening with the group >.>

i thought more along the lines of high school musical when i saw it but ther than that it's a great song and my fav bit was when the teachers were break dancing in the cafe.
